Star Wars to return to film in Ireland on the Wild Atlantic Way

Once on an island far, far away, Star Wars landed on the rocky slopes of Skellig Michael off the coast of Kerry.

Next time round, the interstellar troopers are due to head at light speed for the Wild Atlantic Way, with locations in Donegal and Cork on the horizon.

In a joint statement yesterday, Lucasfilm and the Irish Film Board confirmed that Star Wars will return to Ireland to film this year.
